Forecasts

Chessman (4/5), Mojito (9/4), Six Strings (13/2), Silent Echo (9/1), Tai Sing Yeh (10/1), Arc Royal (11/1), Used To Be (20/1), Letmestopyouthere (25/1)

Verdict

The form of CHESSMAN's Newbury race last time looks strong in the context of this contest, so the fact that he got beaten should not deter punters and he is taken to get his head back in front. Silent Echo has the inside berth and that might help him to find the improvement required on his handicap debut, while Mojito is very much a potential improver who is likely to get very competitive.
